<p>This is coming from a self-proclaimed feminist, but men have higher IQs than women; hence, they score higher on tests, including the SAT. Grades, on the other hand, tend to measure work ethic more than actual cognitive ability, and this seems to be one area where women exceed men. The SAT is not “sexist”, just like the SAT isn’t “racist” when East Asians prove to have higher scores than Whites and all other races. It’s just the way things are.</p>
<p>(For the record, I myself am female and more of the “smart but lazy” type. I have terrible work ethic and hand in assignments/papers late all the time, but when it comes to tests and exams, I always score very high.)</p>
